BRAZIL, Jan. 16.-The Grand Jury, after
four DAYS session, has returned an indict-
ment against James BlackwoOd, the Cardonia
miuer, for murder in the first degree, the
victim being his wife. The report that one
Moore had confessed to completely in the
crime proved incorrect aud was doubtless
started by Moore's enemies, and given plau-
sibility by his effort to suicide. The trial is
set for the oath inst, in Clay Circuit Court,
now in session. The deed was diabolical,
and Blackwood will hang unless he saves his
neck by confession, which appears likely.

WASHINGTON CRITIC
THE BELL OF JUSTICE.
Once on a time an upright king

Once on time an upright king
Hung In the market-place bell
Which all who were oppressed might ring,
Aud thus their wrongs and sorrows tell;
Receive the justice which they needed,
And all the rights the law conceded.
Now when, with constant calls and time,
The rope had nearly worn away,
They tied the tendril of vine
To stop the progress of decay,
And glve.to all who might require
That justice which should ne'er expire.
One day poor old wretched horse,
Deserted In declining age,
Had munched and pulled the hanging vine,
Attempting hunger to assuage;
And ringing thus the justice bell,
Proclaimed the wrongs he could not tell.
Before the king the courtiers brought
The hungry and neglected steed;
He ruled his owner should be sought
And forced to keep him in his need
Thus Justice should protect the least,
And reign alike o'er man and beast.

Executor aleicher's Reply.

John s. Melcher, the executor whom
Mrs. Paran Stevens, Of New York, accuses
Of mismanaging her husbands estate, de-
nies her allegations. He asserts that the
value OF the real estate left Mrs. Stevens Is
about 100000, and that she has prevented
sales by refusing to afllx her signature as
executrix to conveysnces. Referring to
Mrs. Stevens charge that he refused her
access to his papers as executor, he said (:
"Mrs. Stevens was excluded from our Of.
flee for the reason that she was 80 violent
and abusive that her presence was unendu-
rable. My books were accessible In the
proper way, and l am, of course, respon-
sible to the courtn Mr.. Melcher added
that Mrs. Stevens had struck him on the
head with an umbrella; that on another oc-
casion she had thrown books at him, and on
another had torn valuable oil painting
with missile which she had aimed at him,
but W hch had missed its mark.
